metaphor's door

in all that we are aware of
in every way we know anything
we draw a line to another
connecting that which is not
connected externally

does the brain do this?
does the mind do this?
does our nature do this?

being of our own nature, mind, and brain
we can never answer this question

so, would you please tell me what it is?
(although I can never understand it
except, as with everything
through a metaphor...

damn !~)

i just read something that said metaphors are illogical.
i'm not sure if i disagree or agree with that.

well, y'see sky, it's like this:

imagine you're a tomato, and reality is the soil you grow in, and...

heh.

I earnestly think that there is no answer, and in a statistical sense. Explanation is illimitable.

Seeking an answer is to want an absolute out of something that can never be totalised by absoluteness, regardless if it can, in tis instances, be absolute.

So what is it, it is illogical, and it is a tomato.

You see it, don't doubt it!

My oh my.

I think metaphors are definitely illogical. Which just demonstrates that the human mind, at its core, is also illogical. We are not logical beings. Nothing wrong with that - but it's good to recognize things for what they are.

People who think they are logical are illogical.
